Missing Pennsylvania woman found living in Puerto Rico 30 years later

Patricia Kopta was believed to be dead after disappearing in 1992, until authorities found her in a care home thousands of miles away

A Pennsylvania woman who went missing from her husband more than 30 years earlier and was even legally declared dead has been found alive in Puerto Rico, according to authorities.

Cases where people mysteriously disappear don't often result in the missing being found alive decades later. But 82-year-old Patricia Kopta has proven to be an exception, now being treated for a dementia diagnosis at an adult care home about 1,700 miles (2,700km) away from where she went missing.
